Lance looks at the shirtless, muscular young man with the whip, pleading with his eyes. This is no ordinary whipping. Lance is being lashed with a bullwhip while his lean body is stretched, making it even more sensitive to the cutting power of the whip. “Talk!” the man demands. “Or we will crank you even tighter and leave you in agony for 10 hours!” Lance remains silent. He will suffer unbelievable agonies for his country and his soldiers and will tell these men nothing. The next day his body is so broken, he offers no resistance as he is unbound, flipped over and spread-eagled on his back. He then realizes the whole process will now be repeated on his chest and abs. Next week: Electricity.
